Question 1

Which of the following best serves to rebuild a transmission?

Accepted Answer

B

Question 2

Which of the following could provide comprehensive detailed information on the disassembly, rebuild, and reassembly of the transmission?

Accepted Answer

ATRA (Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association) manuals are specifically designed to provide detailed information on the disassembly, rebuild, and reassembly of transmissions, making them the most comprehensive resource for this purpose.

Question 3

When disassembling a transmission, it is good to disassemble it into its unit assemblies because it helps in all of the below except:

Accepted Answer

Disassembling into unit assemblies does not save workspace; it may actually require more space to organize and lay out the parts.

Question 4

Tech A says that if the case vent is plugged it can result in fluid leaks from the transmission. Tech B says that the case vent should be blown out with compressed air while the transmission is apart. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

A plugged case vent can cause pressure build-up, leading to fluid leaks. Blowing out the vent with compressed air while the transmission is apart is a good maintenance practice to ensure it remains clear.

Question 5

A transmission with too little end play could indicate:

Accepted Answer

Too little end play in a transmission often indicates incorrect assembly, as the components may not be aligned or fitted properly, leading to insufficient clearance.

Question 6

Tech A says that an end play measurement should be performed before disassembling a transmission. Tech B says that it is not necessary to perform an end play measurementbefore disassembling the transmission because you will be rebuilding and replacing components that will affect the end play. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Performing an end play measurement before disassembling a transmission is important to diagnose any issues and to have a baseline measurement for comparison after reassembly.

Question 7

Choose the correct order of dismantling the external components.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Choose the correct order of dismantling the...

Question 8

Which of the following indicates that the bushings in the transmission may need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Excessive bronze material on the pan indicates wear from the bushings, which are typically made of bronze.

Question 9

All of the following statements are true except:

Accepted Answer

The answer of All of the following statements are true...

Question 10

Tech A says that you should inspect all electrical connectors for corrosion during disassembly so that replacement parts can be located if needed. Tech B says that electrical connectors will not corrode because they are submerged in transmission fluid. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Electrical connectors can corrode over time due to exposure to moisture and other environmental factors, so it is important to inspect them during disassembly.

Question 11

Choose the correct statement with respect to main transmission disassembly.

Accepted Answer

The plastic thrust bearing should be placed in the parts bin after removal to ensure it is not lost and can be inspected or replaced if necessary.

Question 12

Which of the following tools would be right choice for the removal of the large snap ring around the outside edge of the case?

Accepted Answer

A straight blade screwdriver can be used to carefully pry and remove a large snap ring from the outside edge of a case.

Question 13

Tech A states that thrust washers should all be replaced when rebuilding a transmission. Tech B states that thrust washers can be made out of plastic and they can be easily broken by careless handling. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Tech A states that thrust washers should...

Question 14

Tech A says that a pick and a hammer can be used to remove the low/reverse clutch piston from the transmission case. Tech B says that compressed air is helpful to remove the low reverse clutch piston. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Compressed air is commonly used to remove the low/reverse clutch piston from the transmission case, as it can safely and effectively push the piston out without causing damage. Using a pick and hammer, as suggested by Tech A, is not a recommended method due to the risk of damaging the components.

Question 15

Tech A says that a special puller will be required to remove the front pump from the transmission. Tech B says that a pry bar can be used to remove the pump once the valve body has been removed. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

A special puller is typically required to safely and effectively remove the front pump from a transmission to avoid damage.

Question 16

Which of the following may be ignored?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following may be ignored?
...

Question 17

Tech A says that when you are rebuilding a transmission that you have never seen before it is helpful to take pictures during disassembly. Tech B says that it is critical that you keep all of the parts organized during disassembly. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Both Tech A and Tech B are correct. Taking pictures during disassembly can help in reassembly, and keeping parts organized is crucial to ensure everything is reassembled correctly.

Question 18

Tech A says that the transmission case sealing surfaces should be checked with a straight edge. Tech B says that the valve body must be stored flat to prevent warping it. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Both Tech A and Tech B are correct. Checking the transmission case sealing surfaces with a straight edge ensures they are flat and not warped, which is crucial for proper sealing. Storing the valve body flat prevents it from warping, which could affect its function.

Question 19

Tech A says that you should wait until the transmission case has been cleaned before attempting to remove any broken bolts. Tech B says that all broken bolts should be removed and threads chased BEFORE cleaning the transmission. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Tech A says that you should wait...

Question 20

Tech A says that traditional vehicle service information systems will cover transmission disassembly. Tech B says that it will often be necessary to purchase aftermarket transmission service information before rebuilding a transmission. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Tech B is correct because aftermarket transmission service information often provides more detailed and specific instructions for rebuilding a transmission than traditional vehicle service information systems.
